The word "sustainability" gets thrown around a lot these days. But what does it actually mean for humanity to be sustainable? Environmental data scientist Hannah Ritchie digs into the numbers behind human progress across centuries, unpacking why the conventional understanding of sustainability is misleading and showing how we can be the first generation of humans to actually achieve it.

    Excellent. We need more strong speakers like her in Humanity, that face facts directly and seek realistic solutions. Despair is not an option.
  • @Dalayur
    Thank you TED for getting back on track with an excelent talk, which is properly data driven and rational. Great job mrs. Ritchie, we need you!
  • New narrative needed. Hannah Ritchie delivers an optimistic and datarich perspective to current and new generations to come. Kudos!
  • @JanAinali
    It rhymes well with the ending "we need to do it bigger and much, much faster" that the example of the multistory bike rack in Amsterdam is already obsolete. It was too small, so it has been closed and replaced with a super fresh underground manned bike garage with the capacity of 7,000 bikes (and a smaller one for 4,000 bikes on the other side of the train station).

  • Whatever happens most people are just along for the ride. It seems like most fail to learn basic scientific literacy.
